Job description

The role in a nutshell: Planning for, managing and reporting on TFSUK’s team of Quality Assurance and Outcomes Testing specialists against a regulated backdrop, to support their development, continuous improvement, and to enhance the quality of the customer experience and the good customer outcomes we produce.

A bit about the ‘Department’: Business Assurance is a central function at TFSUK which incorporates Quality Assurance and Outcomes Testing. Together, these teams work closely with front line business areas and Regulatory Assurance (Compliance) to provide assurance to senior management that our business processes and policies are operating effectively. This assurance activity is vital so that TFSUK can evidence the delivery of good customer outcomes, adherence to regulatory requirements and a level of quality and excellence that is befitting of the Toyota brand.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Managing, with the support of relevant Team Leaders which report directly into you, the Quality Assurance and Outcomes Testing teams.
  • Reporting on assurance activities which test the business policies, service, performance, procedure, quality and regulatory conduct risk.
  • Designing, delivering and maintaining appropriate frameworks across the assurance areas ensuring they are relevant to regulatory and business expectations.
  • Continually assessing the success of the first line assurance frameworks and activities in meeting their objectives, and recommending changes where required.
  • Completing Learning and Development plans, performance reviews and objective setting for the team, holding regular documented meetings and one to ones.
  • Working closely with the Training and Competency Manager to ensure development areas across the business are identified and supported on the job.
  • Recruiting, training, coaching and motivating Quality Assurance and Outcomes Testing Specialists as required.
  • Regularly presenting clear MI to functional and senior management, weekly operational meetings and monthly governance forums, to support prompt and targeted issue identification, escalation, root cause analysis and remediation.
  • Regularly reviewing and updating policies and procedures, ensuring these are cross-reviewed as appropriate and approved in line with governance requirements.
  • Overseeing regular calibration meetings, ensuring framework alignment across two lines of assurance and a consistent approach to monitoring activity.

Key Experience & Skills:

  • Previous leadership/management experience.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Previous coaching/training experience.
  • Proficiencies in Microsoft Office software.
  • Presentation skills of a professional nature, with the ability to distil complex and/or abstract information into clear, concise and meaningful storytelling and fact presentation.
  • Experience in the supervision of a Quality Assurance and or Outcomes Testing Control function.

Attributes & Behaviours:

  • Strong time management and organisational skills, with the ability to multi-task and work to tight deadlines.
  • Keen attention to detail.
  • Team orientated.
  • Outward mindset.
  • Flexible and adaptable to change.
  • Ability to interact with all role and grades across the business.
  • Agility; the ability to switch lens between Quality Assurance (policy and process adherence) and Outcomes Testing, pivoting your approach, whilst retaining a holistic view of these first line assurance methodologies, the sum of their output, and their collective purpose and benefits.
